Mercedes-Benz introduced a new generation of the C-Class in 2014 in both versions, sedan and station wagon, in 2014 and also added the AMG flavor for them in all three versions: sedan, station wagon, and coupe.
The long-roof version of the C-Class, code-named S205, was able to transport more stuff in the back, thanks to its big trunk. In addition, it still provided enough technology onboard to be attractive to the younger generation. Last but not least, it was a genuine, comfortable daily driver.
The C-Class 450 AMG T-Modell featured the specific, A-shaped lower grille in the bumper, flanked by a pair of air intakes that channeled the air to the front brakes. The main grill sported a 3D pattern named "diamond mesh" crossed by a single chromed bar that supported the brand's logo. The long roof version featured a third row of windows between the C- and D-pillars. Finally, at the back, the raked-forward tailgate was adorned with a roof spoiler, while below the rear bumper, AMG installed a splitter flanked by four exhausts.
Inside, the sports seats were covered in AMG-specific upholstery and provided excellent side support during high-speed cornering thanks to the adjustable bolstered areas. In addition, the ARTICO/DINAMICA man-made leather mixed with the aluminum trims provided a sporty ambiance. Inside the instrument cluster, the carmaker placed a pair of dials with chequered flag background and red needles. In the middle, a small TFT display showed the onboard computer data. At the back, the automaker installed a split-folding bench that expanded the trunk area from 490 liters (17.3 cu-ft) to 1510 liters (53.3 cu-ft).
Under the hood, AMG installed a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine paired with a seven-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS gearbox. Power went in all corners with a front/rear 33/67 torque-split distribution.
